全世界的福利制度都经历了前所未有的变化。理解这些变化是困难的，不仅因为它们的多样性，而且因为它们在不同的地方变化很大。福利世界为这些变化提供了一个清晰而简洁的指南。本书的第一部分考察了世界各地不同福利国家的范围，描述了近年来引入的各种改革，如私有化和商业化。本书的第二部分测试了理解这种社会变革的许多理论观点。本书最后探讨了福利国家在多元文化社会中的未来。这本书写得很清楚，有广泛的关键术语词汇表，展示了地理视角对理解福利改革的多样性是如何至关重要的。《福利世界》将引起所有关心福利服务未来的人的兴趣。
Throughout the world welfare systems have been experiencing a period of unprecedented change. Understanding these changes is difficult, not only because of their diversity, but also because they vary so much from place to place. Worlds of Welfare provides a clear and concise guide to these changes. The first part of the book examines the range of different welfare states around the world, describing the various reforms - such as privatisation and commercialisation - which have been introduced in recent years. The second part of the book tests the many theoretical perspectives for understanding such social change. The book concludes with an exploration of the future of the welfare state in multicultural societies. Clearly written, with an extensive glossary of key terms, the book demonstrates how a geographical perspective is crucial to understanding the diversity of welfare reform. Worlds of Welfare will be of interest to all concerned for the future of welfare services.
